Heads up!
Next week, June 22-26, Public Works will be performing annual sewer maintenance cleaning in the Ridgefield and Deerfield neighborhoods. This includes all of Redbud Ave, Redbud Courts, Wakefield Ave, Deerfield Cir, the 400 & 600 blocks of Scott St, and the west side of the 600 block of Birch Ave.
Please note:
• Water and drains may be used as normal.
• You most likely will not even notice that work is being performed.
• On very rare occasions your building/home may be affected as follows:
Sewer lines can develop air pressure or partial vacuum from the cleaning process. Usually, any excess air pressure or vacuum will dissipate through your plumbing vents, but occasionally there are homes with inadequate plumbing vents (no vents, undersized vents, or obstructed vents.) In the case of inadequate venting air pressure could escape through your toilets, floor, sink, bathtub, or shower drains causing water to splash out or, a vacuum could draw the water out of your fixture traps causing an unpleasant odor. To guard against this possibility, please:
• Cover all floor drains with plastic and place weight on the plastic.
• Cover all toilets with plastic and close lid on the plastic.
• If you should experience an unpleasant odor, run water into each drain to re-fill the traps.
These precautions are only necessary within the dates that your area is scheduled for maintenance.
Thank you for your cooperation.
